The article says "Filed takedown notices with Google, Cloudflare, and the domain registrar spaceship.com"
replyYeah but you do need to hang the takedown on some technical reason like copyright or scamming. The issue here is there's no obvious victim. Makes a takedown harder.
replySince the clone site isn't doing anything obviously malicious like spreading malware or blatantly illegal content none of those parties will take any action whatsoever, nor should they.
replyMost registrars and hosts consider phishing already malicious, even if there's no obvious malware download or anything.
reply"Phishing" has a _very_ different meaning from "offer the option to sign up for a newsletter", let's not conflate the two.
replyIt isn't doing that now, but you can't be sure about what they're going to be up to a little ways down the line, the fact that they are clearly trying to misdirect the traffic is proof positive they're up to no good.
replyJust do a bit of risk assessment if something like this were to be shipped to people that have come to blindly trust the source and you'll see why letting this slip is a very bad idea.
